We get mad at legacy kids that don‘t come here To play.

in this situation we have the son of a current TCU employee that will not even visit.

TCU has a great tradition of football players running track.

If you were Sonny, would you let your players run for a guy that cannot get his son to atleast come for a visit before he takes the big Michiganian $$$$$$?

It's all about the Benjamins now - with the salary cap and free agency this is now a feeder league for the NFL...nothing more. And not everyone gets mad at legacy kids...a lot of them want to make their own path. Good for them.
 
So, do we fire our track coach because he can’t even get his son to visit?
45 years ago Bubba Thorton had a bunch of football players running for him. Phillip Epps, James Maness, Russell Bates. Bubba built up the program, went to UT and was finally an Olympic coach But Bubba played football at TCU and also ran track.

Even Patterson let Colby Listenbee run.

Who has Sonny let go run? You think this is going to help that process in the future?



Even the guy that is in my handle, Michael Milton, played football and ran. If you were in AGC the day Mliton hit that railing in the south end zone and his helmet and jaw shattered during a game, you will never forget that sound. I thought the guy was dead. TCU put up pads after that but that was brutal.

If you look at Daulton's stats/production, it does not represent his stature. 6'1" 180 lbs soaking wet. Then you look at some of the leaner decathletes in the Olympics who challenged for medals in the past, it starts to make sense. The kid was asked to run the Woodlands offense and he produced. 73 % completion. He ran for over 1100 yds and passed for 1300 yards and only 5 interceptions in some elementary offense.

Not sugarcoating, but he may end up being a real gamer for us.
